Get your manga comics. If you already own a manga book store, you won't need any additional inventory. If you need to choose between distributors, search around your locality or online, make a list of all wholesale distributors and evaluate them based on factors such as delivery, quality, deadlines and reputation.You may be able to ship the books without re-packaging them, since the original packaging may be professional and suitable for distribution. If you choose to make your own comics, make a list of how much time, effort and money you spend on each book. Evaluate the three options and choose a suitable one for you.
Get a computer and a reliable Internet connection. Sign up for an email account. You will need several email accounts to establish an Internet business, sell products and earn money.
Get a credit card or debit card from your local bank. This is necessary to buy products and services for your online business.
Do a study to determine a reasonable price for your products. Base the price on quality, number of pages or author. If you charge more than your competitors, your sales will be affected. In your price study, include a price comparison of other distributors selling similar manga comics with the same amount of pages. Also include manga prices from top-selling authors or popular comics. You may also conduct an informal survey with manga fans by asking them how much they would pay for your type of comic. Try to ask as many people as possible to get a sense of the best possible price.
Register your own domain name through sites such as godaddy.com or namecheap.com.
Register your web hosting package to ensure that it runs 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The web hosting package provides website bandwidth so people can see it online. Base the size of the hosting package on the number of views you expect. The more views you expect, the larger the hosting package you will need to purchase. You will need to pay a monthly or yearly fee. You can compare the prices of various providers and choose based on your budget. Prices usually run between $40 to $300 a month depending on your bandwidth need (as of September 2010).
Create a website. Make sure the design and layout are appealing and pleasing. Hire a designer if necessary. Use free services such as weebly.com or wix.com to create preliminary website ideas. Create your own sales and thank you pages.
Get a merchant account and register with a credit card processor. A merchant account is a business bank account linked to your website. It allows you to accept payments on the Internet. Credit card processors are free, but merchant accounts charge a fee. PayPal and Google Checkout both act as a combination of merchant accounts and credit card processors.
Secure your website. Take measures to ensure that your payment gateway is secure so that your clients can rely on it. Hire a webmaster to test your site.
Promote your website through submission in search engines, directories, blogs, newsletters, forums and discussion groups. Listing your site in popular directories such as dmegs.com and other blogs that cover the manga industry can increase traffic to your site.

How to Choose a Web Hosting ServiceIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
Make sure the host's server provides a sufficiently fast connection to the Internet. A T3 connection is optimal, but a T1 will work for most Web sites. A dial-up connection is usually much too slow.
Find out how many machines will be sharing the server with you. You don't want to be slowed down by traffic from other sites. Compare this number with other hosting services to give yourself negotiating room.
Investigate limits on bandwidth and hits. Make sure you won't be charged severely if a lot of traffic goes through your site. Look for reasonable flat monthly rates as opposed to rates based on use.
Find out what kind of customer support the host offers. Twenty-four hour support and speedy replies aren't unreasonable demands. Try to avoid paying for customer support.
Plan ahead when thinking about Web space. The amount of space you need depends on the nature of your site, but be sure to give your site room to grow.
Look for a company that offers virtual hosting. This will allow you to use your own domain name (www.yoursite.com) as your URL as opposed to a directory within the host's domain (www.host.com/yoursite). If you don't feel that you need your own domain name, save money and stick with the host's URL.
Make sure the host provides adequate CGI-bin access if you'll be using forms, and that the CGI bin can support your scripts. You should have your own CGI-bin directory with unlimited access.
Opt for Web-based administration if you're unfamiliar with Web programming. This will provide a Web-based interface for the maintenance of the site.
Look for a host that offers FTP and Telnet access to facilitate uploading files and editing CGI scripts.
Evaluate your e-mail needs. Some servers offer POP mailboxes, while others simply offer aliases that reroute mail to existing mailboxes. Some hosts put limits on the number of allowed aliases. Make sure you fully understand the host's e-mail services.

How to Host a Business MeetingIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
The meeting will move faster and be more focused if you have a reason to hold it. Even if it's a regular weekly meeting, it will be more productive if you have a specific goal. Draw up an agenda touching on the topics you want to cover. Stick to the agenda: If someone brings up an unrelated topic, tell them to talk about it with you after the meeting is over.
Invite Selectively
Don't invite people who don't need to be there. If all you need from someone is an update on her latest project, you can get that in an email. Keeping the meeting to a reasonable size keeps things more orderly and focused. It also frees up more people to do productive work.
Prep Your Attendees
Send out your agenda before the meeting, so everyone knows what to expect. If you call the meeting to deal with a recent development -- a change in the law, a project delay -- include the background information with the agenda. That way everyone will be up to speed and you have more time in the meeting to address the development.
Find the Right Space
Find a room that's large enough that everyone who attends can seat themselves comfortably. Squeezing people in or hunting for chairs is distracting, uncomfortable and makes you look unprepared. Confirm the room has any equipment you need and that it's in working order. This is particularly important if the meeting includes a slide show presentation or if someone's going to attend by phone or videoconference.
Steer the Meeting
Agendas aren't magic. Lots of meetings start with a goal, then the participants veer off onto tangents. If you're hosting, it's up to you to steer the ship back on course. If your guests include customers or upper management, you'll have to do this with a delicate touch, but it needs doing. End the meeting at the scheduled time.
Help People Relax
You don't want to run such a tight meeting everyone feels like they're in boot camp. Arrange for a supply of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. Allow some time at the beginning for small talk, as people naturally enjoy catching up with each other. Just don't let it run on to the point it delays the business at hand.
